Info
Animals as Leaders bring their instrumental set to Chalk in Brighton on 3 August 2026. Formed around guitarist Tosin Abasi and completed by Javier Reyes and drummer Matt Garstka, the trio builds pieces from eight-string guitars, synth hues and percussive grooves. Live, they move through polyrhythms and odd meters with clear, melodic lines that cut through the density, letting themes breathe before tightening the screws again.
Parrhesia era tracks sit alongside earlier staples from Weightless and The Joy of Motion, drawing the thread that runs through their catalogue: technique used in the service of form and feeling. With no vocals, the focus is on touch, timing and the dialogue between the three players; riffs coil and unspool, harmonies stack and dissolve, drums shift the ground underfoot. Metalheads, jazz listeners and the simply curious meet on common ground here, for a set shaped by interplay and detail.
